Senior Liberal MPs are optimistic a deal can be reached with Labor on a watered-down version of its new nature laws. The Greens said any deal with the Coalition would show the laws have been “written for big business”. Yep. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

62% of Israelis, and 73%(!) of Jewish Israelis, said they'd oppose Palestinian statehood, even if it's coupled with normalization with Saudi Arabia. The Israeli public (not just government) and the rest of the world seem to be moving in 2 very opposite directions. www.jpost.com/israel-news/...

The thing about the government bailing out genAI when the bubble pops, is it can't. It's almost half the US stock market. It is bigger than consumer spending. The government would have to spend like half its entire budget, on something that loses billions of dollars a month, forever.

Better approve some more gas fields and coal mines.

So now Australia will be making F35 fighter jet parts for Saudi Arabia. A country that Amnesty says ignores people’s basic human rights, restricts their freedoms and inflicts severe punishment. The regime also kills dissenters. No one even asked us.

A government that can’t bring itself to tax fossil fuel, big tech or any wealth properly but defunds its critical institutions is not a good government, sorry

Ed Husic grills ANZ CEO Nuno Matos & asks how it’s fair that ANZ ripped off 65K customers & the worst punishment received by Senior Execs was not getting a bonus, while at same time the bank is sacking 3500 workers who didn’t do a thing wrong. Matos says he’s not proud about it. #Estimates

"What is happening here is not a matter of a few ‘extremist’ individuals acting on their own, but a broader colonialist settler mobilisation project that is funded and supported by members of the Zionist movement both locally and internationally." #WestBank

Calling Labor's current approach "incrementalism" or "small target" or whatever makes it sound like they are are an overly cautious progressive govt. Matters like this show that they are actively pursuing policies that make them indistinguishable from the centre right: not incrementalists at all.

Think I'll just park this here.

The world's oldest, continuous culture on Earth, living in third world conditions, while the invader government rip off billions every year of their resources. Trying to force First Nations Peoples off their country for mining.

Right when scientists from around the world are disaffected by their governments we are responding to the opportunity to get them here by doing this to CSIRO. We are the dumbest country!

The last time I wrote about this I copped the biggest whinge fest from the then (Labor) minister’s office about how they weren’t cutting the budget lol

The boomers/gen x + admin ensured that no cool ppl ever wanted to stay in bluesky. The best you can get out here is the 50501 ppl that think ICE just needs better training. Admin is hostile to anyone to the left of Elizabeth Warren

The red carpet has been rolled out in the White House. The guest is the murderer who had journalist Jamal Khashoggi dismembered. I am outraged that the murderer that directed the murder of at least 80 fishermen suspected without proof of drug trafficking blown up, invited this murderer to our house.

🔴 BREAKING: An Israeli airstrike has killed 11 people and injured 4 in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Helweh in Saida. Lebanon’s Ministry of Health, which reported the death toll, called it “the bloodiest massacre since the announcement of the ceasefire." The Israeli army's Arabic...

Sequential governments have not increased CSIRO's appropriation to keep up with the cost of doing science. Hasn't even kept up with CPI. Hence, repeated periods of austerity and job-shedding. A good way to kill off long-term work that no-one else is doing. And a very good way to kill off morale.

I feel bad for the @washingtonpost.com for having to explain why this is actually a good and normal thing for a president to say about their murdered columnist except no I don't.

"Industry fund giants Hesta and Vision Super have cut ties with Israel, standing out among Australia’s large investors for compliance though earning vicious attacks in the Zionist media. @sstephanietrann.bsky.social reports as meetings loom #auspol michaelwest.com.au/australian-s...

A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

This guy's position became untenable years ago. And yet here we still are, where everytime someone looks at something it just gets worse.

Your choice is quite literally a bipartisan cabal of pedophilic drone-wielding genocidal oligarchs that suck each other off in depraved games of domination and blackmail, or, socialism and a habitable planet, and you're struggling with that choice?! Dafuq is wrong you?

That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years. "Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third." This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government. www.smh.com.au/national/csi...

@albomp.bsky.social, this is absurd. Every dollar spent on research pays back more, why are we being so short sighted? #CancelAUKUS #AusPol

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Every state apart from Tas is pulling their weight with hospital expenditure.

Australia's utilities are specifically choosing *NOT* to build new renewable energy: they see it as way more profitable to be paid to extend the lifespan of coal plants instead They say this IN THE SURVEY being heralded as 'good news' by climate groups www.energycouncil.com.au/media/1idldu...

I'm sorry folks but this is energy industry propaganda being pushed to exploit the hyper-focus on the Coalition rake-stepping: SPECIFICALLY to advance an agenda to extend coal plant lifespans and mask utility climate failures. This is really bad stuff and v worrying www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

“Look, if they’d just slapped ‘Nazi Rally’ on the poster in bold letters, everything would’ve been fine” a police spokesperson said. “We have protocols: music gig or stop-killing-Palestinians rally? Shut it down. Fringe extremist movement? Escort them to venue and provide traffic management."

"This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance." holy SHIT

Treating animals with antibiotics is a very, very bad idea (unless it's for a individual animal who is sick) and especiallyin a marine environment. This is absolutely appalling. Do not buy Tasmanian salmon. Ever. To the politicians who supported this industry- You were so wrong.

Honestly, I think these two articles are pretty damn close in their tenor. - The companies are barely investing anything meaningful in building new renewables, so they can extend coal and get paid to do it - The grid operator lost all interest in enhancing emissions reductions years ago
